Develop a knowledge of their locality.

 Use simple fieldwork and observational skills to study the geography of their school and its grounds.

Use basic geographical   vocabulary to refer to:

             -key physical features,        including; beach, cliff, coast, forest, hill, mountain, sea, ocean, river, soil, valley, vegetation, season and weather.

key human features, including: city, town, village, factory, farm, house, office, port, harbour and shop

Locational knowledge

 name and locate the world’s seven continents and five oceans

Human and physical geography

 use basic geographical vocabulary to refer to:  key physical features, including: beach, cliff, coast, forest, hill, mountain, sea, ocean, river, soil, valley, vegetation, season and weather

Geographical skills and fieldwork

 use world maps, atlases and globes to identify the United Kingdom and its countries.

Understand geographical similarities and differences through studying the human and physical geography of a small area of the United Kingdom, and of a small area in a contrasting non-European country

Identify seasonal and daily weather patterns in the United Kingdom and the location of hot and cold areas of the world in relation to the Equator and the North and South Poles

Use simple compass directions (North, South, East and West) and locational directional language [for example, near and far; left and right], to describe the location of features and routes on a map.

Use aerial photographs and plan perspectives to recognise landmarks and basic human and physical features; devise a simple map; and use and construct basic symbols in a key.

Name and locate counties and cities of the United Kingdom, geographical regions and

their identifying human and physical characteristics, key topographical features

(including hills, mountains, coasts and rivers), and land-use patterns; and understand

how some of these aspects have changed over time.

Locate the world’s countries, using maps to focus on Europe (including the location of

Russia) and North and South America, concentrating on their environmental regions,

key physical and human characteristics, countries, and major cities.

Use maps, atlases, globes and digital/computer mapping to locate countries and

describe features studied.

Describe and understand key aspects of physical geography, including: climate zones, biomes and vegetation belts, rivers,

mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes, and the water cycle.

Use maps, atlases, globes and digital/computer mapping to locate countries and

describe features studied.

Use fieldwork to observe, measure, record and present the human and physical

features in the local area using a range of methods, including sketch maps, plans and

graphs, and digital technologies.

Describe and understand key aspects of:

-physical geography, including: climate zones, biomes and vegetation belts, rivers,

mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes, and the water cycle

-human geography, including: types of settlement and land use.

Human and physical geography:

Describe and understand key aspects of:

-Human geography, including: types of settlement and land use, economic activity including trade links, and the distribution of natural resources including energy, food, minerals and water.
